We are seeking an enthusiastic professional who is able to plan, prepare and teach engaging Chemistry lessons (mainly A Level and UFP), with some GCSE general science.  These lessons will enthuse and inspire students, promote life-long learning skills through the effective use of pedagogy and take into account the individual learning needs of our students: the ability to differentiate your teaching and manage varying abilities must be exceptional.

• Have experience of working in a British-curriculum international school or FE college
• Have experience of working in a boarding school or as a Personal Tutor to a group of students
• Have experience of working in diverse multinational environments spanning differing linguistic and cultural needs

In return, we can offer you:

• A vibrant working environment focused on student outcomes and university entrance
• An opportunity to grow your teaching practice within a committed leadership and teaching team
• An attractive salary
• Excellent professional development opportunities
